Question

Explain why does an odd piece of cutlery start vibrating violently when a note of some particular frequency is played?

Answer 1

Relation between the Natural frequency and Particular frequency:

1. Resonance occurs when an object is forced to vibrate at its natural frequency.
2. When the musical note of some particular frequency is played and if its frequency matches the natural frequency of an old piece of cutlery, then resonance has taken place.
3. An old piece of cutlery starts vibrating violently due to resonance.
